About Sue

Sue MacMillan is a counsellor who offers a calm, caring space for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or low mood. She also supports those coping with grief, relationship troubles, low self-esteem and worries about control or attachment. Sue speaks English and French and works from the United Kingdom.

Sue listens without judgement and helps people talk through what matters most to them. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer ways of thinking about problems.

Background and approach

She aims to help people notice patterns that keep them stuck and consider alternatives they can try between meetings. Sue uses a mix of approaches so the work matches each person's needs. Elements from person-centred counselling are used to build a respectful, accepting space.

Ideas from psychodynamic thinking can help uncover long-standing patterns that affect current relationships. Cognitive behavioural ideas are used to find manageable changes in thinking and behaviour when anxiety or low mood are the main concern. Sue draws on the parts of each approach that seem most helpful for the individual in front of her.

She explains options and works at a pace people can manage. Her practice suits people who want a straightforward, conversational style and a practical focus. Sessions are structured around the client's goals and updated as progress is made.

Sue aims to support steady, realistic change rather than quick fixes.

How Sue adapts therapy approaches for online work

Sue commonly draws on person-centred ways of working that focus on listening and creating a supportive, non-judgemental space. This approach helps when someone needs to make sense of how they feel and to build self-understanding, whether the session is by video or phone.

She also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments between sessions. These techniques suit problems like anxiety, low mood and social worry because they give clear steps to practise outside sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sue will discuss different ways of working and agree on what to try first. That decision is made together and can change as progress is reviewed.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different lives. Video lets people use visual cues, phone works when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging suits ongoing reflection between meetings. These options aim to make therapy easier to fit around work, family or travel commitments.
